Yeah, I can think of a few other threads where a disagreement over stock fundamentals would have quickly disintegrated into posturing, insults, strutting, swaggering, pissing matches and worse in no time flat. Not to mention lots of *BOLD ITALICS and EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!* But we're not BIG SHOTS like those folks are - at least according to them. One thing I have learned doing public affairs work the past 13 years - the day you believe your own press clippings, you are in big trouble. You will assume you are perfect and naturally &^ up big-time as a result. The ultimate irony - all the BIG NAME GURUS on SI don't amount to more than a fart in a hurricane in terms of the overall market. The thousands they trade in barely register on the tape of any stock with a float over a few shares. Someone asked me if I would make this a moderated thread; the answer is no, since we seem to convince all the loudmouth morons that playing here really won't be much fun for them. So they drift off to the threads with 100's of meaningless scraps every day substituting for stock discussion.
